In 2010 Hattiesburg celebrated the centennial of its train station. As part of the activities, a sculpture by artist Jason Kimes was unveiled next to the station. Titled "The Spike That Binds," it is a life-size seated man made entirely out of railroad spikes.They are starting to rust, which makes the sculpture even more interesting.
